Pet Tip
You JUST got a new dog – Don’t freak out – Pet tip 255
Today’s domestic dog is still closely related to the wolf. Like all wolves living in a pack, dogs must be part of a stable family and feel safe. Most domestic behavioral problems occur when the dog is confused about how to act/behave in different situations such as your home or out on a walk.
It is recommended that you keep Fido confined no matter his age for at least the first month in your home. This will allow him to settle in more comfortably and adapt to your lifestyle. At the same time, confinement will reduce such misbehaviors as chewing and separation anxiety.
Here are a few general rules to help you to prevent misbehaviors when you bring Fido home:

Duke was a wonderful dog. We got him just before his 5th birthday. His former owners said they didn't have enough room for him. He had been kept locked up in the garage when they weren't home and at night. He came right to us when we went to see him. We took him home with us right away and never regretted it. He loved children and was very friendly. The school bus driver, mailman and ups man all brought him treats. We had him for 8 years and loved every minute. He died in my arms at the vets rather than suffer with cancer. We will miss him always.
